Call for Papers

Submissions of extended abstracts describing exciting new, in-progress, and/or experimental research are invited for the Work-in-Progress (WIP) session of the IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS). The WiP session is devoted to the presentation of new and on-going research in real-time systems, theory, and applications. The primary purpose of the WiP session is to provide researchers with an opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the real-time community at large. Of particular interest are ideas and contributions that present significant paradigm shifts, explore unique and unconventional approaches to important problems, or investigate fundamental departures from conventional wisdom in adopted solutions. WiP topics include, but are not limited to:

Adaptive systems theory and practice

Architectural support

Case studies

Compiler support

Cyber-physical systems

Design and Verification

Embedded systems

Energy management

Formal methods

Model-based development

Multicore real-time support

Multi-criticality analysis and support

Multimedia computing

Performance modeling

QoS support

Real-time and dependability

Real-time databases

Real-time programming languages

Real-time sensor/actuator networks

Real-time systems middleware

Scheduling algorithms

Security and survivability

Software engineering

System development tools

Systems integration

Wireless Sensor Networks

Worst-case execution time estimation

TheWiP session will be held during the symposium. Accepted submissions will be included in a separate RTSS WiP Proceedings, which will be distributed to all RTSS symposium participants and will be available electronically from the RTSS home page. In addition, as of this year, for each accepted submission a 1-page poster abstract will be included in the main RTSS proceedings. One author of every accepted paper should be registered to the conference and present the paper during the conference. All WiP projects will be presented orally and in a poster session.

Submission Instructions

Each submission should consist of two parts:

a 1-page Poster Abstract with a title starting with “Poster Abstract” followed by a colon before the title of the work (e.g., “Poster Abstract: Name of RTSS WiP Abstract”),

These two abstracts should be combined into a single pdf document, and thus the length of submitted documents should NOT exceed 5 (five) pages including references and figures – submissions exceeding 5 pages will not be reviewed.

The 1-page Poster Abstracts will be published in the main RTSS proceedings and the 4-page Extended Abstracts will be published in the RTSS WiP proceedings.
